BACKGROUND The healthy properties of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) such as weight loss, reducing cardiovascular risk factors and inflammation have been reported. The trans-10, cis-12 CLA isomer is related to increasing insulin resistance, but the effects of cis-9, trans-11 isomer is not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of CLA with and without Vitamin E on body weight...

Relative insulin deficiency, in response to increased metabolic demand (obesity, genetic insulin resistance, pregnancy and aging) lead to Type2 diabetes. Susceptibility of the type 2 diabetes has a genetic basis, as a subset of people with risk factors (obesity, Insulin Resistance, pregnancy), develop Type2 Diabetes. We aimed to identify 'cluster' of overexpressed genes, underlying increased be...

Diabetes is a global public health crisis affecting more than 415 million people across the globe [1]. Once a disease of the affluent, type2 diabetes is now increasingly common amongst the poor as well [2]. The complications of diabetes remain as the leading cause of non-traumatic limb amputation, blindness and renal failure. The use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies in ...

This paper proposes two different approaches for the prediction of type2 diabetes. Many different techniques have been used for the prediction of chronic diseases by different researchers. Among them Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) is very popular and already used for the prediction of type 2 diabetes. In this paper, the proposed system is optimization of ANFIS using Genetic Algor...

Using the Toronto Diabetic Neuropathy Expert Group-2010 classification of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), 89% of patients with newly diagnosed type2 diabetes had either confirmed or subclinical-DPN, hence at increased risk of foot complications. Sudomotor-dysfunction (SMD) assessed through electrochemical skin-conductance measurement was present in51.1%. SMD has 73% sensitivity and 81% NP...

A 37-year-old North-Indian woman with type-2-diabetes mellitus was enrolled in a clinical study to establish association of promoter mutation ˗132G>A of IAPP (Amylin) gene and hypertension associated with type-2-diabetes mellitus. Patient was diagnosed having type2 diabetes mellitus at the age of 29 years and was diagnosed having hypertension 3 weeks prior to the study enrolment. Her family his...

BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of type2 diabetes differs between different ethnic groups. Asians develop type2 diabetes at younger age, lower body mass index, and in relatively short time. Not only that, some ethnicities have different responses and dosing regimens to different classes of anti-diabetic agents. Data from Japanese population showed that the optimal doses of liraglutide used are s...

Background and objectives: Although the efficacy of selected training and antioxidant herbs in the treatment of diabetes mellitus has been determined, the interactive effect of selected training and aqueous extract of barberry on insulin resistance and risk factors of type2 diabetes mellitus is not well understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of aqueous extract of...

The present paper reports the prevalence of gallbladder disorder in type 2 diabetic patients and their correlation with sex, age, weight and duration of diabetes. 30 type2 diabetic patients and 20 healthy controls underwent real time ultrasonography to study the prevalence of gallbladder disorder. The fasting gallbladder volume and contraction 60 min. after a fatty meal of the diabetic subjects...
